This loaf can be left out on the counter for a few days in an airtight container, or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Another option would be to freeze for up to 3 months, however, I recommend slicing beforehand so you can pull out a slice when ready to enjoy.
Alternative Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
- Swap maple syrup for either apple sauce or a mashed banana.
- Use unsalted butter instead of coconut oil, melt and cool before using.
- Use arrowroot flour for tapioca flour.

To make your own pumpkin pie spice, you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon

This looks amazing!! Could regular all purpose flour be used instead of the gluten free/dairy free option?
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure!
